Chapter 633: Third Young Master
Chapter 633: Third Young Master
Zhou Gui Lai had spent more than 20 days in Hai City this time. Once he reutrned, there was a lot of matters to do. First of all, he checked all the shops under his family’s name and then started to check the accounts.
There were a few income and some expenses. He had to call Ma Cheng Min to ask about it.
Ma Cheng Min gave a reasonable explanation. Plus the amount wasn’t that much. Zhou Gui Lai knew that there would be some small errors, so he didn’t say anything.
As for the income of the shop, they were all directly deposited into the account by Zhou Er Ni, who came back from learning to drive. With one look, Zhou Gui Lai was stunned from it.
The income of his family was truly not low.
Quite impressive.
Once Hai City’s side pick up, business will inevitably reach another level.
Zhou Gui Lai gave instruction to Ma Cheng Min: “Get people to start the renovation for the two shops in Haidian’s side. Also the three shops in Xicheng and Dongcheng’s side needed to be renovated into tea shops.”
“Then we have to recruit more employees.” Ma Cheng Min said.
“Recruit then. Transfer two from the old shop and promote them as the store manager.” Zhou Gui Lai approved.
“Not going to wait for your parents to come back?” Ma Cheng Min asked.
“It’s just a few shops. Can’t I manage it?” Zhou Gui Lai asked rhetorically.
That wasn’t a problem. Ma Cheng Min didn’t continue. He got someone to handle it. Zhou Gui Lai drove over to the tea shop. Zhou Er Ni was there. She was doing the accounts.
Zhou Er Ni had went to learn to drive for a few days and came back after getting the car license. When Zhou Gui Lai wasn’t here, she was assisting Ma Cheng Min in managing the business.
As for the money collected every day, it was directly placed in her hand. Then she will deposit it in Lin Qing He’s account.
“Back? I thought you won’t be so fast.” Zhou Er Ni merrily said.
“Does it need that long. Originally, I could have come back a week in advance. Instead, I stayed a few more days.” Zhou Gui Lai grinned and spoke: “Sister Er Ni, the car outside is yours?”
Zhou Er Ni curled her lips and beamed: “Your second brother-in-law bought it.”
After returning from the driver’s license test, Wang Yuan bought it for her. Now she directly drove to work. And it was very convenient to pick up the twins in the evening.
“Tsk, as expected of a rich man. I’m going to turn sour.” Zhou Gui Lai sat down and laughed.
“It doesn’t count much. Seeing this year’s business, I’m even more sour.” Zhou Er Ni joked.
She bared the responsibility of the account and depositing. Was there a need to say how good the profit was? Last year, there were hundreds of thousands. This year, this business was obviously going to go up.
Of course, this wasn’t surprising. After all, economic conditions were getting better and better. Consumption levels had gone up. Naturally, the profits would too.
Of course, it was also because the shop had been in business for a long time. Its popularity was getting higher and higher. After all, it was taking the quality path.
If the tea wasn’t good, it will not appear in the shop. It was all checked. What’s more, there was return and exchange policy. The attitude was very good, so the reputation was excellent.
Zhou Gui Lai began to boil water to brew tea. He spoke, “This business doesn’t count much. How can it be compared to Second Brother-in-law’s thousand-labor-force factory? That is the veritable daily input turn into gold.”
The two siblings boasted each other’s business. The other employees who heard it couldn’t help but laugh.
Of course, there was nothing to pick at with Wang Yuan’s garment factory. However, the bigger the factory, the greater the pressure. After all, how was it easy to feed a large factory with thousands of people?
It was true that the profit wasn’t small, but there were salaries to be paid every month. That was the true cut-throat cost.
One person was one hundred or so. One thousand people meant one hundred thousand or so. Every month, one hundred thousand labor cost were paid. The profit here was only one hundred thousand. Completely incomparable.
Of course, in this era when salary of two hundred yuan were rare, it went without saying a monthly income of hundreds of thousands was a terrifying amount of income.
When compared with the real high-level, it still had a lot of shortcomings. Can only say it lagged behind those above, but more advanced with the one below.
Zhou Er Ni said: “Would you like to go and take a look at the courtyard dwelling? Yesterday, I went to have a look with your second brother-in-law. The new furniture is ready and got delivered over.”
“Sure. I’ll go and have a look later.” Zhou Gui Lai replied.
“I wonder when Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt bought the courtyard dwelling. It’s very spacious. I almost got lost when I went in.” Zhou Er Ni remarked.
He had visited his own yard. Like a few times. At that time, he got people to rebuild it. He found it very novel.
Because he didn’t know when his family bought such a large courtyard dwelling.
Moreover, it wasn’t an ordinary courtyard. This was a veritable double-entry courtyard. The area was too big. He had asked his parents how much they spent to buy it. However, his parents didn’t tell him. Nor when they bought it. Yep, they hid it well.
After drinking tea with Zhou Er Ni, Zhou Gui Lai drove over to the courtyard dwelling by himself.
The nanny had arrived this month. Although the house owner hadn’t moved in to live yet, she had to clean and take care of the flowers and plants every day. She knew Zhou Gui Lai. When she saw him, she greeted “Third Young Master”.
Zhou Gui Lai stroll around and said, “Auntie, they still have a bookcase to make, right?”
“They said the pinewood has been shipped over. The bookcase is nearly completely and will be delivered soon,” the nanny replied.
“En. My parents will be back in a few days. They will move in when they come back. I will trouble you here.” Zhou Gui Lai said.
“Third Young Master is polite.” The nanny responded.
Zhou Gui Lai didn’t stay long. He drove over to the dry good shop and carried out two jins of dried abalone. Then he brought it to his grandparents to have dinner there.
However, halfway through the drive, Zhou Gui Lai saw a familiar face. Of course, that guy didn’t see him. He was walking on the side of the road.
If this person wasn’t Xu Sheng Qiang, who was?
“Why is he out so soon? Isn’t it until the end of the year?” Zhou Gui Lai didn’t stop and let him be. He just muttered to himself.
It went without saying he didn’t know that Xu Sheng Qiang was released early this morning. The original plan was the end of the year. However, due to obeying the management and performing well, he was release early.
Even though they were cousin, there was nothing to say. Those whose paths are different cannot lay plans for one another. It was like this with brothers, let alone the cousin.
Zhou Gui Lai didn’t bother with him and drove to his grandparent’s place to prepare dinner.
Xu Sheng Qiang came back. Zhang Mei Lian, who watched the shop, was shocked when she saw him.
“Are you unhappy that I’m back?” Xu Sheng Qiang frowned when he saw her startled expression. That place was really not for people to stay. It was enough to stay there once. He didn’t want to go in anymore.
“Qiang Zi, of course I am happy that you can come back.” Zhang Mei Lian concealed her guilty conscience and said quickly: “I was just shocked. Why did you come out early. It can’t be that… that you…”
“I was released, not escaped.” Xu Sheng Qiang stated.
Look at his behavior. His words weren’t as aggressive as before. Obviously, his memory had increased during the over two years there.
